At its fifth session, held following the close of the fourth annual conference of FAO, the Council decided that its next meeting should be held in Paris in early June 1949, and elected three Council Vice-Chairmen – Professor André Mayer of France, B. R. Sen of India and Dr. G. S. H. Barton of Canada. The Committee on Financial Control was reestablished with the same membership as in 1948 with Enrique Perez-Cisneros of Cuba appointed as chairman, and the Committee on Relations with International Organizations was reconstituted. An ad hoc committee appointed in 1948 to assist the Director-General with Latin American affairs, particularly in establishing a regional office for that area, was also continued, and it was decided not to renew the Policy Committee on Production and Distribution which had been in operation since 1947.
